Cheap Ice-HOuseS.

This is good time to build ice-houses,
and many are taking advantage of it to pre-
pare for the present winter when a supply
for the creamer or other household uses can
be stored. j. p. Gleason of New Brantree,
Mass, has an expensive house for the pur-
pose, but last winter made an experiment
that has convinced him there is much
money wasted in ice-houses. He stacked a
quantity of ice against the north side of his
barn, tackled a rough frame over it, which
he covered with boards-in some places six
inches apart-and filed it up with sawdust.
To his surprise, the icesupplied his creamer
until June without once opening his neat
ice-house, He says he shall pack still more
in this way this winter, and advises any
body who contemplates building an ice
house to build itroughly and cheaply, leaving
good space for packing on all sides of the
ice. Mr. Gleason says: eff one has a pond
near a strip of woodland and will erect a
packing-house in the dense shade of trees,
where the ice can be run into it by a chute,
he will not go far astray. Here the build
ing will not prove unsightly and the trees
would protect the ice from rapid wasting
prove solid economy in this way as well
as in expense of building" He would not,
however, imply that in this way sawdust
or other packing can be dispensed with, nor
that it is best to build the ice-house a
distance from the creamer in order to secure
the benefits of shade, as this would involve
waste of time in procuring blocks of ice
during the busy season. He also recon-
mends leaving the top of tightly-built ice
houses open to sun and wind at the gable
ends. No farmer can afford to be without
an abundant supply of ce.-E1chdnge.
We have long advocated the building
of cheap ice-houses and the use of ice
in a moderate way by the farmers fam
lily. We think those who oppose the
use of ice have not tried it and expert
enced the comfort and convenience its

THE farmers wife has to do greater
variety of things than most people who
work for hire. There is no word COM
prehensive enough to cover all her oc-
equations. If the woman devotes her
life to identifying the domestic circle,
giving up her taste for outdoor pur-
suits, she should at least have the
wages of appreciation. The farmers

Death or Joe Mcdowell.

Joseph D. Mcdowell; a resident Of
this locality for the past Is years,
died on the Goth of this month
at Andy Loucks' residence, at DEVILS
Gate, in this county, after an illness Of
two years, with dropsy OF the heart.
He had been complaining of sickness,
principally asthma, during the entire
length of his residence in the county.
In 1884 he was in the charcoal bus
mess, and for several years after
acted as agent for VIM. Nickals. He
received very kindly attention from
Mr.. Loucks and his family during his
sickness. His remains were laid to
rest in Hubs cemetery last Wednes-
day, and his funeral was attended by
a large number of friends. Mr.. Nc
Dowell was we'll known in and around
Eureka as a sober and industrious
man, and was we'll liked. He was
careful and saving, and was said to
have left an estate to which his brother,
who lives in Marysville, Nodoway
county, Missouri, will probably come
here to administer III. The deceased
was u native Of Missouri, and aged SO
years,

A Holiday Picture.

"There you go again." she exclaimed, as
the inquisitivs youngster fell headlong
over a lot of things that stood In his way.
A big fat dressed turkey which fell into =
box OF Eastern apples, and nearly scared
the boy to death, was Just what led to his
stumbling about in the way he did. 1t
was a wonder that he had not upset .
lot more things, for there he stood, in front
of him a big pile of boxes filled with
such delicious imported French candies
| and preserved fruits, California and East
| ern handmade candies, beautiful orna-
ments for Christmas trees, and alongside
| of them were ever so many sacks of this
| dates and figs in boxes and mats. Then
| there were a whole lot of boxes of East
ern Oregon and California apples, cauli-
flower, lettuce, celery and all kinds of veg.
etables, which the drayman had Just
brought from the railroad depot. The
youngster had recovered himself and was
putting up a job on the old lady as she was
looking first at a lot Of live and then at
some dressed poultry. "Such splendid fat
turkeys, ducks. geese and Chickens" she
said. "Yes," answered Mr.. Berg, the pro-
prietor Of the store, eve have the finest
lot of holiday luxuries aud the greatest
abundance Of them that has ever been
brought to Eureka, and they are coming
along by every train, madam" The
~youngster had just succeeded In getting
his crandma's purse from her IS Mr..
Berg was saying, eyes, madam, I'll sell
tyou as cheap as you can buy in San
Francisco" and was negotiating for some
handmade candies, and had nearly. com
pleted a purchase before the old lady
knew that her purse was gone. 5

THE FIRE AT PALIsADE.
How 1t Originated and Other Par
tfculars of the CONFEDERATION.

A fire broke out in Baum's hotel at
Palisade last Sunday evening by
which that and all the buildings in the
block were entirely consumed. We
learn that Mrs. Baum has been un-
well and was confined to her bedroom
for several days. She left her room at
about Z O'Clock on the evening in
question, leaving a fire in the stove,
and a lamp burning, and went to the
parlor, where she was engaged in con-
versation for a short time, when she
thought she heard the sound of a train
moving. She spoke to her son, who
thought the sound came from a fire,
and Mrs. Baum, opening a door lead
ing to her bedroom, was Immediately
driven back by fierce flames. Ten
minutes afterwards the roof of the
building fell in. The fire spread rap
idly to the adjoining buildings, and in
an incredibly short time the entire
block was in ashes. Mr.. Baum had
newly renovated and thoroughly fur
nished the house. We have no esti-
mate of the losses to hand. 0. II. p.
Bailey occupied one OF the buildings
as a general merchandise store. He
managed to remove a portion of his
stock to a fire-proof cellar, and the
balance, which was destroyed, was
fully covered with insurance. Baum's
loss must have aggregated several
thousand dollars, with no insurance,
as we are informed. Himself and fam
lily are left practically penniless in the
midst OF an inclement Winter. They
saved nothing, not ever a supply Of
wearing apparel. They are old citi-
zens Of Eureka county. 1t would be a
proper thing for such of our people as
can afford it to extend them a helping
hand, as all the rest of the sufferers,
in their distress. The people of Eu-
reka have passed through SC many of
these fiery v~isitations that they can
not avoid a feeling OF sincerest SYM
pathy for such Of their neighbors as
may be overtaken by similar misfor-
tunes. The SENTINEL, especially hopes
that these sufferers by the late fire
may speedily retrieve their losses.

Tomorrow will be the beginning OF
a New Year. Regretfully we bid
adieu to the old, with its successes and
disappointments. Eighteen hundred
and eighty-seven was not a bad year
for any part OF the world. 1t was es-
pecially kind to these United States.
Within the whole history OF our coun-
try never was there a year so full OF
prosperity and progress. Let us hope
that 1888 may deal equally generous
with us. But tomorrow We must turn
our backs ON the old, except the fond
recollections which memory shall cher
ish, and resolutely face the new. 1t is
a time for wise resolves and good reso-
lutions. Of course everybody will
" swear off"-and swear on again in
less than thirty days. Everybody will
contemplate a good many other proper
things which may never be realized.
Still we could wish everybody the full
est OF contentment and pros
perity during 1888, and to the readers
OF the SENTINEL especially, one and all
do we extend that most cordial greet
ing OF all the seasons-A Happy Now
Year.

MUSIC IN THE AIR.
A Holiday Present that May Lead
to Blood. or Divorce. or Both.

The SENTINEL gets onto" q sem
sation in Eureka social life that may
yet lead up to dire consequences.
The affair at this writing is known to
but half a dozen persons. 1t may
never get beyond this circle. 1t will
be fortunate for all concerned if it
does not. The scandal, if such it may
be called, would cause the tongues Of
the gossips to wag necessarily for 80
days were the details publicly known.
The SENTINEL will not crafty the
morbidly inclined by giving full par
~ticulars at this time. For the present 1t
proposes to withhold names, though
there may come a time when it will
become it's duty to record all OF the
circumstances, and minute details OF
the case. But that time will not arrive
until an overt act shall have been
committed. Such a turn Of affairs
seems imminent at this writing.
There is blood on the and
music in the air in certain upper ten
dom quarters. The g%reen-eyed mon
ster is loose. 1t is at this moment
shaking and quaking two hitherto
peaceful breasts from center to cir
conference. Murder or divorce, may
be both, may be the result. And the
whole affair may possibly be patched
up without an open storm or demon
stration Of any kind. The SENTINEL
hopes it may. That were the wiser
course. But blasted hopes and shat
terd domestic ties are hard things to
bear. However, it is none of our
funeral, and we shall not moralize
further.
The sum and substance of the case
grows out of a holiday present. The
wrong man gave the wrong lady Il
silk dress, and other costly feminine
apparel. The old man "tumbled tc
the racket" and as was quite natural,
went wild with rage. He frothed and
tore up the ground, and threatened in
slant death to the disturber Of his
domestic bliss. Two or three prudent
friends interfered to prevent a tragedy.
The donor claims that the gift was
entirely innocent, and was dictated
solely by personal regard and friend
ship. And thus the matter stood al
the hour of the SENTINEL's latest al
vices. 1t is barely possible that a
great sensation is IN reserve for oui
next issue.

One by Ono the Roses Fade .

The SENTINEL learns that with the
beginning of the New Year the Aus
tin Revcille will be reduced TO a
weekly. The troubles OF the Manhat-
tan Company, resulting in the shut
ting down of the mines, has driven it
to this course. The truth is, there
are but few towns in Nevada that af-
ford adequate support for a daily pub
LEGATION. The Reveille is the second
oldest daily in the State. 1t has led a
long, Industrious and useful career.
In it's enforced retirement from the
daily field it has the earnest sympa-
thy of the SENTINEL, genuine condo
lence, far removed and above the
usual sentiment, that misery likes

KNfCKERBOCKERs' BALL.
A Social Event OF Rare BriIlianc,
and Endowment.

"uu EnJVy hmeHts
The annual ball of Knickerbocker
Hose Company No. 2 came off last
Thursday evening, and was both a So
cial and financial success. Over 100
tickets were sold. A. E. Kaye led the
grand march with Miss Inez Libby of
Mineral Hill, and the pleasures Of the
evening commenced. There were up
wards OF seventy couples or the floor,
and a number OF spectators in the gal
lery who did not participate in the
dancing. The evening was spent in
the most enjoyable manner and dane
ing was kept up until 8 o'clock in the
morning. The members of the COM
pany return thanks to Messrs. Gall
wey, Knight, Page, Maggini, Morri-
son, Provost and HUI for their kind
ness in acting as floor managers in
place Of the gentlemen named in the
published programme. The company
also desire to thank all others who in
any way contributed to the success of
the occasion. These occasional re-
unions of the Knicks are noted in Eu-
reka society as the most ~pleasurable
occurring here. Everybody votes this
latest ball OF the old company as the
grandest of the season and one of the
best conducted in all respects. The
members Of the company have a right
to feel proud of having furnished the
social event of the holiday season in
Eureka. Long may they wave. The
music by Frank Riegelhuth's full
string band was, as usual, excellent
more than that, it was superb.

A Nasty Case.

The case OF E. Keuhn VS.. P. Pa
roni, has occupied the attention Of the
District Court for a greater part of the
week. 1t is a suit for $4,000 damage
for the alleged seduction of plaintiffs
daughter, a girl of scarcely Is, by the
defendant. 1t is the tilthiest case
ever tried in Eureka county. No
amount OF money in damages can
compensate this unfortunate girl, or
the public, for so public a display of
human weakness and nastiness. The
SENTINEL entertains too high a regard
for the moral sentiment of it's readers
to enter into details.

The Manhattan Property Sold.

The property (all of it) of the Man
haitian Mining Company, of Austin,
was a few days ago sold at sheriff's sale.
1t brought only a fraction OF its value.
The purchaser was the Lander Com
pany, composed Of the creditors and
lien holders of the old company. The
matter was managed in this way to
keep the property intact. The Man
haitian Company now has six months
for redemption. 1t is more than
probable that the property will be
taken out of hook, but until it is,
affairs are likely to remain quiet with
our neighbors.
